Looks very much like a synthetic spinel, such as one use in high school or college class rings. It looks way too pale for sapphire, but might be synthetic sapphire, or possibly even blue topaz. All of these three stones would possibly make a thermal tester give a false diamond reading. I think Spinel is the best possibility.
The severe abrasions showing pretty much eliminate the possibility of diamond and the cut is not at all diamond in terms of conforming to the shape of any common rough or reasonable outcome. Also, the polish look far less than diamond-like. Sorry, but I think the ID is not going to come out diamond. Wish I had better news.
